Mommy and Auden in recovery. The two most beautiful, brilliantly strong people I have ever met.
Daddy and Auden right after birth. His first picture. On Monday (Labor Day, ha), September 1, 2008, at 7:37pm, we welcomed Auden James McDowell into this world. At 20-inches long and weighing 7lbs 10oz, our beautiful boy entered the world au naturale (the epidural didn't work well and then wore off completely toward the end... ouch). He had some trouble breathing, but an hour in the step-down nursery fixed him right up. Mom is healthy and happy; Auden is spectacular. I am exhausted. I'm literally seeing two computer screens right now. Anyway, Auden has to have a Bili Blanket (he's a bit jaundice) for a couple days, so that's making diaper changing and feeding sort of difficult, but he's so adorable that we kinda forgive him... ;)
I'm a dad now and I'm so scared. I can't believe it. I pray, M and I pray, we pray with/to Auden: for strength, faith, patience, and love. We are a family, and we are proud.

Congratulations, Gary!!!
Congratulations to all three of you! My daughter was on the Bili Blanket. It clears it right up. And what a great name (Auden, not Bili Blanket).
awwwww. i just saw the 1st pics of Auden! Mega congrats. The 1st month is the toughest, but the good side is every single day/hour, there is something so new and so magnificent that happens with your new, wee one!
i hope the pets aren't too jealous of Auden's cuteness...;)
